Album: Oedipus Schmoedipus
[Verse 1]
Am
Our time is done my love
E
We've laid it all to waste
Dm
One thousand moonlit kisses
E
can't sweeten this bitter taste
Am
My desire for you is endless
E
and I'll love you 'till we fall
Dm E
I just don't want you no more
Am
and that's the sweetest embrace of all
[Verse 2]
Am
To think we can find happiness
E
hidden in a kiss
Dm
Ah, to think we can find happiness
E
that's the greatest mistake there is
Am
There is nothing left to cling to babe
E
There is nothing left to soil
Dm E
I just don't want you no more
Am
and that's the sweetest embrace of all
[Chorus]
Dm Am F G Am
Oooh ohhh ... where did it begin
Dm Am
When all_ we did was lose
B E
There's nothin' left to win
[Verse 3]
Am
So lay your weapons down
E
they serve no purpose in your hands
Dm
And if you wanna hold me then go ahead and hold me
E
I won't upset your plans
Am
If it's revenge you want then take it babe
E
Or you can walk right out the door
Dm E
I just don't care anymore
Am
And that's the sweetest embrace of all
[Chorus 2]
Dm Am F G Am
Oooh ohhh ... where did it begin
Dm Am
When all_ we did was lose
B E
There's nothin' left to win
[Verse 4]
A
It's over babe
E
And it really is a shame
Dm
We are losers you and me babe
E
In a rigged and crooked game
Am
My desire for you is endless
Em
And I love you most of all
Dm E
I just don't want you no more
Am
and that's the sweetest embrace of all
